+        text="The Finnish Assyriologist and Semitist Jussi Aro was a prolific
+      author, translator, and commentator, renowned for his extensive knowledge of the
+      ancient and modern Near East. He held the chair of Oriental Literature at the University
+      of Helsinki from 1965 until his untimely death in 1983. Aro was a polyglot whose passion
+      for languages began in early childhood, leading him to study theology, Greek literature,
+      Semitic languages, and Assyriology at the University of Helsinki, with additional studies
+      in Chicago and Göttingen. His dissertation on Middle Babylonian grammar
+      (@bib{aro1955studien}) was the fourth Assyriological dissertation written in
+      Finland (after Knut Tallqvist, Harri Holma, and Armas Salonen, Aro’s teacher in
+      Assyriology). After his appointment as professor of Oriental Literature in 1965, Aro
+      concentrated on Arabic and other Semitic languages. However, the numerous reviews of
+      Assyriological publications he wrote afterward demonstrate his continued keen interest
+      in the Akkadian language and cuneiform sources."
